    Office gloss paper huh?  Have to try it, providing my iron gets hot enough, I'll have to experiment.  I use very fine steel wool to clean mine, I tried using rubbing alcohol to clean the board. Joe

    Well after putting the probe from my digital bbq therm under my iron for a while I think I may know my problem, according to my BBQ therm, I top out most of the time at around 167 deg C & drops back down as low as 158 Deg C.  Any suggestions? Joe

    I've tried the toner transfer method 5 times now, 2 times, on regular paper, 2 times on tracing paper & once on photo paper & everytime the results are the same, half the toner stuck on the board, half on the paper.  I put the image on the pcb & secure it in place with masking tape...

    Re: made my first PCB --- but there are questions :p

    2 questions about the photo process. 1) Do I need to make a negative of my designs or will the regular posative print out work? 2) If I'd print my designs out on transparancy film, can I save that & reuse that same sheet?  Thanks. Joe
